Man named Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop arrested in Wisc.

Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop pre-name change.

In what is quite possibly the most ridiculous story ever, a man named Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop has found himself in the spotlight for something other than his absurd name.

Zopittybop-Bop-Bop was arrested on drug and weapons charges, which is a bit of a surprise. Wouldn’t someone named Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop be a mild-mannered peacenik?

Zopittybop-Bop-Bop (we think that’s where the last name begins) legally changed his name, which was Jeffrey Drew Wilschke, in October.

Beezow was arrested last Thursday in Madison, Wisconsin after cops fielded complaints about noise and drug use in a local park, according to KTLA. Cops found him carrying a knife, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

This isn’t the first time Zopittybop-Bop-Bop has had a run-in with the law. He was arrested on similar charges last April.

Zopittybop-Bop-Bop offers an explanation for his peculiar name change on his Facebook profile. He describes it as a “jazz term” that means “the sum of the hysteria of all the chaos in the universe. or something.” A perfectly good explanation!

Also note-worthy: He lists himself as a member of the “Orthodox Church Of Jerry Garcia Fans.”

He is also single.
